    Anyway, bloody annoying, itunes don't have that particular tune for sale, emusic doesn't have anything on them and even the mp3's of it available from the newsgroups are all incomplete and won't download :mad:

    I'll have a better search around for it tomorrow. Flippin' Johnny Cash again on the bus so :(

    Buy their albums. I picked up a couple in Tower.

    I'm guessing it'll be something shíte as with pretty much every year. It should be this though:

    It was in two die hard films, that just shows how awesome it is.
    AWW I feel really Christmassy now, watching that! :)
    I have Sinatra's version on my Zen, but Dean's is better.

    Ugh, that's awful. Really awful. And so not Christmassy. :mad:

    If it's in the charts, it's ****e.

    This isn't in the charts and it's brilliant, coincidence? I think not!
    Faultless logic there, Karl. :pac:

    Yup, they've pretty much bought the Xmas no.1 spot forever. :(
    Hopefully Alexandra Burke will win it, the other three acts in the semis are crap. REALLY crap.
    And the winner releases "Hallelujah" - I shudder just thinking about horrendous crime against music that will occur if anyone other than Alex records it. :(

    If that talentless bint Diana off x-factor murdering Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah gets to #1 in Ireland then I've officially lost faith in this country.

    Xfactor wants to get the number one spot with some rubbish but Peter Kay is bringing out something (again) in opposition to that garbage.

    Simon Cowell apparently is not amused again that he might be robbed of the top spot once more.
    Go Peter Kay! lol

    Did you hear the Scooter "remix" yokie thing of "Whatever You Want" anyone???

    Anything with Scooter is usally quality anyway.

    And thats why it is the 7th most watched video on you tube this year with nearly 40 MILLION hits? ok mr cowell thanks for that!
    40 million, you say?
    How much does that equate to in virtual money?

    A catchy beat does not a good song make.

    Like I said, lowest common denominator. The more popular it is, the crappier.

    For proof, check out the most viewed video of all time on youtube, it's Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend. Biggest piece of **** song ever = most viewed. Proving beyond any doubt that the more popular a song is directly relates to how **** it is.

    Lets take the reverse of that, here's a song with 136,936 views (As of posting) Esbjörn Svensson Trio - Behind The Yashmak:

    It's brilliant.
    Tar, I'm sure I speak for my fellow AH mods here when I say that we would all be willing to turn a blind eye to you banning the cable fixer for that post.

    I didn't watch it either.

    Probably the same three Oasis use.

    Sorry, just 'cause a song's popular it doesn't mean it's 'good', in the artistic sense of the word. Some people will just play it for novelty value or whatever. I mean Mr.Blobby's song was number 1 at one stage. 'Nuff said.

    As for Jason Mraz- not really my cup of tea. Reminds me of Jack Johnson. Don't really see it as a 'Christmassy' song though.

    I have had two bets on this, first is Take That and second bet was Peter Kay and Gary Barlow

    Also backed the same two acts w/out the X Factor winner.
